May be Tina Long mean Hiarcs 8 is error free or The Perfect chess program of our
time ...

This lead to some philosophical questions :

1) what's the level of a perfect chess-program running on PC 8088@4.77 Mhz ?
2) what's the level of a perfect chess-program running on AMD@2000 Mhz ?
3) what's the level of a perfect chess-program running on a super computer with
32 POWERPC processor with 480 specialised chess-chips ?

I would say
1) 2000 Elo
2) 3000 Elo
3) 3800 Elo

I smell this post will set fire to the forum in some time ...

(I decline all responsibilities...)  ;)))
